Frank Jackson will undergo surgery on his broken right foot.

Jackson also underwent a procedure on the same foot in May.

Jackson was the 31st overall pick by the New Orleans Pelicans in the 2017 NBA Draft after one season at Duke.

Cameron Payne will undergo surgery on his right foot and be out until late November.

The Chicago Bulls traded for Payne last February.

Payne also underwent surgery last year on his right foot.

According to sources, there is a slight chance Isaiah Thomas could miss most of the 17-18 season if recovery from his various hip ailments does not proceed smoothly. Thomas has a bone bruise in addition to his right femoral-acetabular impingement with labral tear.

The Boston Celtics believe they were transparent with the Cleveland Cavaliers about the extent of Thomas' injury during their trade talks.

If the Cavaliers void the trade, the Celtics are confident they can get by with more playmaking from Gordon Hayward and Al Horford, while Terry Rozier and Marcus Smart would offer better defense at Thomas' position.

Thomas has publicly vowed to return from the injury as the same player.

Isaiah Thomas revealed he has made significant progress in recovering from his hip injury.

"I am not damaged," Thomas told ESPN on Tuesday. "I'll be back, and I'll be the same player."

Thomas was traded by the Boston Celtics to the Cleveland Cavaliers, though the deal is being held up following his physical.

Thomas doesn't believe his hip injury will have a long-term impact upon his career. Thomas will be a free agent in 2018.

"There's never been an indication that I wouldn't be back, and there's never been an indication that this is something messing up my career," Thomas told ESPN. "Maybe I am not going to be back as soon this season as everyone wants me to be, but I'm going to be back, and I'm going to be the same player again. No doctor has told me anything different than that."

Thomas has been in touch with the Cavaliers since his physical.

"I don't know what [the organization] is doing," Thomas told ESPN. "It's out of my control. I just want to talk about what I can control, and I know that this (hip) won't be a problem into the future."

Solomon Hill has been diagnosed with a proximal hamstring tear in his left leg, it was determined following examination by Dr. Michael Gerhardt and consultation with Pelicans Director of Medical Services/Head Team Physician Dr. Misty Suri.

The injury occurred while Hill was participating in a basketball workout in Los Angeles, CA.

Hill underwent successful surgery by Dr. Gerhardt in Santa Monica, CA and is expected to make a full recovery. An injury of this nature takes approximately 6-8 months to heal. A timetable for his return will be determined at a later date.

Brandon Knight underwent surgery to repair a torn ACL in his left knee on Friday. The procedure was performed by Head Team Physician Dr. Tom Carter in Phoenix.

Knight will remain out for the 2017-18 season.

For his career, Knight holds averages of 15.2 points, 4.3 assists and 3.3 rebounds in 382 games with Detroit, Milwaukee and the Suns. Knight averaged 11.0 points, 2.4 assists and 2.2 rebounds over 54 appearances in 2016-17, his sixth NBA season and third with the Suns after initially being acquired by the team in February of 2015.

Isaiah Thomas has seven days to report to the Cleveland Cavaliers following his trade from the Boston Celtics.

Thomas' season ended due to a hip injury that has not required surgery. Thomas played on a torn labrum and the Celtics anticipated him delaying the start of his 17-18 season.

Thomas will be examined by the Cavaliers' medical staff and will also visit a renowned hip specialist at the Cleveland Clinic.

Thomas will be a free agent in 2018.

Jahlil Okafor has lost approximately 20 pounds since the start of training camp in 2016 by following a "mostly vegan" diet.

Okafor has cut out dairy but occasionally eats fish.

“I’ve cut out dairy, so that’s cheese, chocolate, stuff like that,” Okafor said. “But every now and then I still might eat some fish.”

Okafor is hoping he can stay healthy this season.

“I feel lighter, I feel great,” he said. “I’ve been taking my body seriously, my health seriously, what I eat very seriously. So I think it’s going to pay off.”

Okafor's future with the Philadelphia 76ers is uncertain due to the presence of Joel Embiid and Richaun Holmes.

“I’m not sure [of my role],” Okafor said. “We haven’t had all the guys together yet. ... When we all start training camp, we’ll all figure that out."

Davon Reed underwent a meniscus repair of his left knee. 

Reed is expected to return to full basketball activity in approximately four to six months.

Reed was the Phoenix Suns' selection with the 32nd overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft.

Reed averaged 14.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 1.2 steals while appearing in all six of the Suns’ games at NBA Summer League 2017 in Las Vegas. Reed completed a four-year career at the University of Miami in 2017 by earning ACC All-Defensive Team and All-ACC Third Team honors, in addition to the ACC’s Skip Prosser Award, presented annually to the conference’s top scholar-athlete in men’s basketball.

Ben Simmons has been cleared to resume full basketball activity for some time.

Simmons played in a pickup game on Monday in Australia.

Simmons sat out his entire rookie season due to his broken foot and subsequent surgery.

The 76ers begin training camp on Sept. 26th.
